Plásticos de uso único têm um impacto devastador na saúde dos oceanos. Eles se tornaram um grande problema global. Estima-se que se nenhuma ação for tomada, até 2050 teremos mais plástico do que peixes do oceano. Uma das formas mais frequentes de plástico de uso único é o canudo de plástico.

We are looking for a device or system that will d Read the rest »

Despite plenty of sunshine, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have high rates of vitamin D deficiency. It’s the cause of rickets, osteopenia and osteoporosis. At Nestlé, we believe it is time to address these rates of vitamin D deficiency. We are looking to develop a product portfolio that delivers the ideal daily amount of vitamin D, calcium, phosphate and other relevant nutrition to prevent deficiency. Read the rest »
